[Gcl-devel] Building GCL from CVS on Ubuntu 12.04

[Mario S. Mommer]

Hello,

I wanted to report that after applying the attached patch to the
configure script, I succeeded in compiling GCL from current CVS on an
x86_64 machine running Ubuntu 12.04.

Following additional steps were needed:

### Install gmp4
export CFLAGS=-I/path/to/gmp4/include/dir/
./configure --enable-dlopen --enable-ansi --enable-pic \
   --disable-statsysbfd 
make

A superficial test indicates that I obtain a working GCL in this way.

Regards,

      Mario

P.S: Note that the attached patch fixes the determination of the "heap
ceiling" only superficially. This number does not seem to be fixed
nowadays. Each time I run

/bin/cat /proc/self/maps | grep "/lib/.*ld" | cut -f1 -d- | head -1

it prints a different number.
